I also read Mike's excellent 2003 recap at Fufkin.com, where he asks a good (rhetorical?) question about why Radiohead's HAIL TO THE THIEF isn't scoring higher with folks.  My answer is a really dumb one: I keep losing it in my house!  And I can't play it when I can't find it.  I guess HAIL TO THE THIEF really does have that elusive quality! ;-)

later,
